Bolivia's Polar Cold Wave Recedes, Strong Winds and Frost Remain a Threat

Bolivia's Polar Cold Wave Ends, But Strong Winds Remain: A recent polar cold wave impacting Bolivia has officially ended, according to the National Meteorological and Hydrological Service (Senamhi). While temperatures are expected to rise, the Senamhi warns of strong winds in several regions. "The alert will be ending tomorrow," stated a Senamhi meteorologist in an interview with Unitel Bolivia. "We've seen significant temperature drops, particularly in Santa Cruz, Beni, Pando, Tarija, Chuquisaca, and Cochabamba." The meteorologist noted wind speeds could reach 50-70 kilometers per hour in parts of Santa Cruz, with potential for frost in the Altiplano and valleys. The impact on the agricultural sector is a key concern, with the cold wave causing damage in previous weeks. The Senamhi continues to monitor the situation and provide updates.
